Just cancelled the NFL Network.
 
I just cancelled the part of my package which contains the NFL Network. I can't watch this garbage anymore. The last straw was listening to Eric Davis (who is a complete moron) say that Mike Tomlin was not purposely trying to prevent Jacoby Jones from scoring a touchdown last night. Um, yeah, that's exactly what Tomlin was trying to do.

Also, Jeff Garcia is a complete moron as well, saying that the personal foul call on Ahmad Brooks for the Brees his was "a horrible call." Um, no Jeff, it was the right call and Brooks was rightly fined for it.

In addition, I just can't watch Deion anymore. Can't do it.

I don't understand why they got rid of Charles Davis, who was one of the only people I enjoyed listening to on the network. I also like Casserly, Billick, and a few others. In any case, I'm done with the NFL Network for the time being. I wish people would cancel en masse but it's probably not going to happen.

Nobody is going to ride the Saints nuts. Its just not going to happen. Steve Young, Terry Bradshaw, and Jon Gruden love us because of Payton and Brees, outside of them people align their biases elsewhere. Pretty much all analysts have some kind of bias. They're still fans and at times former players, so they like who they like. Don't let it bother you.

Worse still is there are other channels with different idiots.

You see... this is why they call it the "Idiot Box". Not because it full of idiots, but instead... that you have to be an idiot to believe anything is says.

Seems like they all get their information from Adam Schefter or Jay Glazer anyway, so why waste the money?

They get paid for reactions like yours, however unlike most people you are looking the other way rather than continuing to watch the car wreck.

You do realize that there is the mute button? I find that it is a very useful feature, especially when you can get WWL radio.

+1. Charles D. has been in the booth with Gus Johnson covering college ball (specifically Pac10 & Big 12) so his plate is probably too full for much else. I always enjoyed his analysis on the Network because of his defensive (I think he was safety in college) minded philosophy and approach.

What's even more disturbing is the while it's true some of the NfLN guys are morons, it's still better than anything ESPN has to offer. What's a guy to do?

Seems like there's a lot of that going around...

Choose between AWFUL and WORSE THAN AWFUL...

Disagree with the comment about Bradshaw - he's from Louisiana (even if it is North Louisiana where they think they should be there own state ;) ); but he's not shy of his bias for the Saints (though he was critical of same during that fuzzy nightmare we had B.C.P. (Before Coach Payton))...

Heath Evans and Darren Sharper of course tend to trumpet the Saints. Albert Breer tends to like us also.

But I agree that Deion and Mike Irvin are very hard to listen to. Then add in Tomlinson who is simply a horrible speaker. It's almost laughable that he is on TV.
